Alternate Bloons Rounds on Ascent replaces the standard round set with more challenging waves that introduce important Bloon properties much earlier. Camo Bloons appear as early as Round 5, Lead Bloons arrive on Round 10, Camo-Lead combinations become a key checkpoint on Round 24, and the first MOAB on Round 40 is Fortified. Ascent’s two exceptionally long paths give your towers valuable extra time to damage these tougher waves, but both routes still need reliable coverage. Building early Camo and Lead detection, handling Regrow pressure, and preparing strong MOAB damage before Round 40 are the main priorities for completing all 80 rounds.
